[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Hook Lighthouse is a unique example of an almost intact medieval lighthouse. It dates from the early 13th century and was a major feat at the time of its construction.

It is thought to be one of the oldest operational lighthouses in the world. When the Tower of Hook became fully automated in 1996 and no longer needed resident keepers, it was decided to celebrate its uniqueness by opening it to the public.

Photo taken in Raw. I decided to change a colour of the sky, original was very grey. A little bit of USM and levels correction.

Hi Wojciech
wonderful image with beautiful colors and good composition. I like the white and yellow flowers in the beautiful green grass. The pinkish tone of the sky adds warmth to scene.
well done

hi espanek

first class composition, wonderful colours and details. your pov is perfect. great looking sky and fg.

regards c.d.

The change of the color of the sky gives an irrealistic touch to the picture an d the flowers reminds us that this is a real view. Paradoxical and intrigant. I like the slightly 'looking up' of the view. TFS. Valérie

Doskonała obróbka...swietne kadrowanie...z rumiankiem na pierwszym planie i latarnią w tle krajobraz nabiera romantycznych rumieńców...
podoba mi się
pozdrawiam
